Recipes

Short, complete patterns for common Guchho tasks.

Each page here is one task, solved end to end: the command or configuration, the reasoning behind it, and the parts that surprise people. They are meant to be copied and adapted rather than read in order.

For the exhaustive list of what a flag or a field does, follow the link on each page into the reference; these pages are about when to reach for it.

Recipe	You want to
Scaffold a project	start from a working tree instead of an empty directory.
Build a single-page app	go from `index.html` to a deployable `dist/`.
Build a library	publish ESM and CommonJS with the dependencies left external.
Serve and watch	edit a file and see the page update, with the right command of the three.
Analyze bundle size	see what is big and why, without a second tool.
Inject configuration at build time	replace an identifier such as `process.env.NODE_ENV` in the output.
Mangle property names	shorten `obj.longPropertyName` safely and keep it stable between builds.
Transform single files	turn one source through stdin into stdout.
Pack a distribution	produce a versioned archive of the output.
